Columbia and Legacy Recordings have announced a new Mike Watt live album, “Ring Spiel Tour ’95,” recorded at the Metro in Chicago during the former Minutemen/fIREHOSE bassist’s first solo tour in 1995. Watt’s backing band included some members of the opening bands Hovercraft and Foo Fighters—Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, and William Goldsmith. The 2xCD, 2xLP release is available to pre-order now; find the full tracklist and cover artwork below. In 2011, Watt had Grohl, Vedder, and Smear join him to close out a show in Seattle, re-creating the lineup from their '95 tour.
